Looks like some sort of orache?

It looks like fat hen and I have too much of that already, to want to plant anything like it

Also looks like Quinoa, but I think that is related to fat hen !

I haven't grown it, but you can get it from Real Seeds. They describe it as Aztec Broccoli. You can eat the leaves, but they reckon the best bits are the flower sprigs.

They all belong to the chenopodium family I like the leaves in salad really crispy and fresh the flowers are ok cooked.

Very easy to grow
